Money….It’s something we have to think about on a daily basis. Where is it going to come from, how it will be used, and is there enough of it? I’m often plagued with those questions, especially in this economy. As you get older and enter into your later twenties and early thirties, you begin to worry about what exactly to do with your money and how to prepare for the future. Bump a rainy day fund, I gotta save for retirment, right?! And, how do I save for both when I already live paycheck to paycheck?

All good questions…I have actually sought investment and budget advice from a financial consultant. It’s just too much for me to handle sometimes…LOL But, the main focus here is to be Smart & Savvy with money and know that we need to leave more to our families than just bills, bills, bills. Consider getting the financial help you need and get your questions answered today.

How to Buy a Boho Bag

By the ChicFashionista

Most boho handbags are slouchy, made of natural materials like leather (faux or real, it doesn’t matter) or suede. The classic leather hobo handbags go with everything, while the more colorful ones (patchwork, prints, etc.) are great for adding a focal point to your outfit. Whatever bag you choose, if you want to look boho chic, make sure you buy the ones with vintage details such as braids, tassels and fringes. These details are often what define original bohemian style!

You can never go wrong with faux leather and faux suede in black, tan or dark brown. They are two versatile materials that look good with most outfits. By choosing the classics you’re free to play with other accessories like jewelry without messing up your outfit.

If you have a more eclectic bohemian style, try patch work designs or eye catching colors like mustard yellow, deep purple, and reds (anything that is a bit splashy) the better. Just try to keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Make sure you drop by the Fabulous $40 and Flirty $30 Handbag section on our site where you’ll find lots of boho chic handbag essentials great for your Fun life and Flirty outfits.
